Sexual reproduction has not been observed in Bd. A Bd sporangium initially contains a single, haploid cell. Which of the following processes must be involved in generating the multiple zoospores eventually produced by each sporangium?
1)S phase
2)cytokinesis
3)mitosis
4)meiosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To generate multiple zoospores from a single haploid cell, the cell must first replicate its DNA (S phase), then divide its nucleus (mitosis), and finally undergo cytokinesis to split into multiple cells. Meiosis is not involved since the process starts from a haploid cell and sexual reproduction has not been observed.
